Palace Garden

Recently I had in my hands a memo sample of Suzanne Rheinstein's "Palace Garden," a large-scale linen-cotton floral with the most beautiful blue background. To me it's sort of a toned-down Tiffany-blue. Prettier than the preview on my computer.

Fans of Rheinstein are well acquainted with the framed chinoiserie panels hanging in her L.A. house (I believe the wallpaper came from her husband's childhood home.) "Palace Garden" definitely seems inspired by these panels.
